DOWNTOWN SOUTH
Regarding “Downtown South ‘no’ vote sets up public hearing,” (Dec. 9):
The Raleigh City Council faces a decision on Downtown South, a transformative opportunity to bring much needed jobs, housing, parks, walkable retail, and yes, a stadium, to South Saunders Street. I hope the council says yes, and takes the first step — rezoning long-neglected properties to support community goals to build density along transit corridors. I also hope the council continues to press for more affordable housing, workforce development programs, and equitable measures during the years of agreements and design to come. A vote yes for Downtown South is a vote for opportunity. - Jennifer Truman
